In Which August 2026 Ends, slightly above average, for all it is due

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this post! I trust it should be time for us now to wrap up the month of August! How was yours? As for my own, it went fast, and though not on the top 5 best months of my life, specially due to the bellow average birthday time, it was not a lost case scenario, in fact, retrospectively, it was a productive one, far more than I was anticipating, and specially concerning writing. It is true that financially it was a profoundly rough month, and in other aspects, such as the longing for chatting with my best friends more often, which for now could not happen, it went lackluster, but we did have had good news, such as the new DLC for Age of Empires 3 DE, coming, at least on the schedule, on September 10th. You know how chaotic a gane release can be, even of a DLC, reason why I don't know for sure if it will actually come on September, or will be delayed, but thinking that just two months ago we deemed Age 3 all but on maintenance mode, that is a remark...

In which I say once again: Happy July 4th. And there is a lot I don’t know

Good morning to you, dear friend, reader of this post, and happy Tuesday. I come today with a post to celebrate 4th of July, one that I had in mind for a while. But, a conversation with my excellent friend Tibor made me rethink what I'd write, this is the final result. 



There is a lot I don’t know. I feel ashamed of myself for having the illusion sometimes I know more than I actually do. When I write, in special, I seem more confident than what I am in fact. There is a lot I don't know about. I wrote a post on my Instagram about July the 4th, a day in which my american friends celebrate independence. He corrected what I wrote there. We are both royalists with no taste for republics and much preference for the natural order of monarchies. And I in fact was a bit harsher on king George the Third as I would have preferred to have been. He was no tyrant, many faults that the colonists complained about, were the doings of the bickerings of parliamentary life. Such is the evil of politics. I rewrote parts of it with the new knowledge he provided me, but I still feel bad for falling into propaganda. Same goes with Brazil I suppose. Our monarchy was beautiful and the evil republic agitators took it away from us, it was such a monstrous deed that they had to rewrite a whole fake story, create a whole artifical mythos, to replace what they wanted gone. The ones pushing for a collectivist agenda are to be feared, and even combated. I was going to say those on the left, but I clearly can see many of the right wingers also have agendas I don't agree with, even am against. Such as protecting national industry, for example... This is why I like much of libertarianism, they break away from many dicotomies, at their best. At the end of the day, all I strive is for the truth. I do believe 4th of July is to be celebrated, but more as a grassroots movement to restore something, than as an awful evil revolution to break away from the past and into the "new". Certainly there were founding fathers that even cheered at the french revolution, and they deserve our question marks, but there are those whom saw goodness in the natural regime, so America was from the start born into those many different groups, no wonder took so long for the country to develop a national identity. It is beautiful, I believe, to have people being able to even question if they should've become independent from Britain in the first place. Today in my country, if you question publicly, as a figure of celebrity, the "sacred institutions of democracy", you can end up in jail. Oh, how much I hate and spit on the face of this "sacred democracy", that is taking us away from what we want, and throwing us at the guillotine of Venezuela. The left is to blame, but also, EVEN MORE SO, the right. Why? Because they were oportunistic, they were not having the values of Mrs. Thatcher in mind, for example. They were corrupt and filthy. The left is worse? Oh, for sure, but I'm not on the left. I ought to denounce my colleagues more vigorously than my enemies. There is a lot I don't know, and yet, recognizing all that was said, I think July the fourth deserve a celebration. The brave american people deserve our awe and praise for all that liberty allowed them to achieve, in the past. Today, as the country descends into the tyranny worthy of a latin america irrelevant country, much to my melancholy, we pray to God, that save the country while it is time. Throw away the evils of socialism once and for all. Let them burn, burn on the fields of fire, as Mrs. Rand would have prefered as well, I reckon. What else is there to be said?
